You're talking about the massacre itself? Sadly Brazil also suffers with police violence, daily, not only on the suburbs. It's racial biased, framing is continuous. Imagine on Carandiru, then the biggest prison in whole country, in such precarious and loose conditions. All that environment needed to explode as hell was triggered that day, the only difference for any day before was that it had the fatal sparkle. We had our ups and downs since 2003 (the year Carandiru was released), but still have a very intricate reality, which most of my fellow citizens guess would be solved with more and indiscriminate use of force - turning, for instance, Elite Squad, a massive blockbuster mainly for the wrong reasons and misinterpretation... said by the director himself. Mind we were once an Empire (no exaggeration, it's literally that between 1808 and 1888) which received 10 times more enslaved black people than United States - and never had a decent public policy to include these people in economy. We're also very highly race mixed and these all were structured mostly in the same racist and institutional fashion in american south states. To let it worse, we kept being a third world country up 20 years ago, whe. We started a very delicated, but strong shift - that suffered a turmoil in least 8 years. Then, with this complex history and giant portions of relegated population, we historically face an even worse Human Rights situation than US. The criminal organizations are drug dealing based, selling to Europe and USA. The bandits take advantage on this social mess, also profiting through sistematic police and polititian corruption - not to say last years extremist ideologies... Yeah, Brazil is sill known for samba, football, carnival... but it's much more than that, for better and for worst.
you mean, what started the riot? no, it's like drauzio (the doctor in the movie, he is real, and he wrote a book called carandiru station) wrote; the surviving prisoners and the police each tell a different story. it might've been a fight over the results of a soccer match between the inmates, it might've been a pointless fight over laundry. no one knows for certain. they were also never able to pinpoint who gave the order for the cops to shoot, was it the chief of the police, was it one of his subordinates, was it the state governor himself? however, it is a fact that this was an election eve, and the governor of the state of sao paulo was seeking reelection so he needed a quick solution... and by morning of the election day, 111 inmates turned up dead. you can't say that it was an impopular decision. that governor was reelected in a landslide, and the chief of police eventually got exonerated from his post in the force, but he never served a day in prison for it, and when he decided to run for congress, he was one of the most voted congressmen to be elected that year. his number on the ballot was 111, the number of deaths in the carandiru massacre which he displayed as a badge of honor.
Hi, the doctor is based on a beloved famous doctor Drauzio Varella, who worked in prisons in Brazil and wrote the book that inspired this movie. As for government, Brazil is a democratic country, with a solid constitution. That massacre is absolutelly illegal, but that is a lot of corruption and racism within governments, police, congress, senate so unfortunatelly this kind of thing happens, too often the people behind face no consequences. To this day, many people, mostly white, think that police was right because the life of a criminal, no matter their circunstances, has no value.
Fun fact: Dr. Dráuzio is also a health digital influencer (despite the fact he probably would refuse the title) and subject in several Brazilian memes.
@@lucasrattes1931 bom, se você pensar desse jeito, nenhum lugar é uma democracia. Ou você acha que os EUA sair jogando bomba e invadindo países pra "levar democracia" é democracia? É pq esses lugares são sempre onde existe petróleo? Um lugar onde policiais matam um negro que não oferece resistência pisando no pescoço dele. Um lugar onde uma mulher foi morta espancada por policiais no hospital pq ela não tinha dinheiro pra pagar atendimento e se recusou a sair de lá. O maior exemplo de democracia do mundo, segundo teu argumento, não é uma democracia. Eu concordo, Brasil, EUA e todos os países capitalista só são democráticos pra ricos, pra população em geral não é.
The police carried out the massacre, because they were criminals, and they were "cleaning" the prison. But all of this was illegal and absurd. Today there is the PCC, the largest criminal faction in Brazil, which was founded after this massacre.
This movie is based of a book by the same name written by the doctor Drauzio Varela, that is represented in the movie. He has worked in prisons for years (30+ years I guess) and he wrote about what he lived taking care of the prisioners and everything that happened before the rebellion and the massacre that happened in Carandiru in 1992. He also has other books published about prison life (Prisioneiras and Carcereiros), he’s a very well-known and beloved doctor here in Brazil! He has a channel here on RU-vid about health.
I might add that most of the things that are shown in the movie actually happened, including the part where the police made the prisoners sit naked overnight (there are photos on google). This massacre is one of the most shameful actions of the Brazilian police in our history. Nowadays, in the place that Carandiru was located, there’s a park (parque da juventude - Youth’s park), but the heavy energy is still there. I’ve been there once and it feels horrible.
7:54 this is the great brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro.. you may know him for playing Xerxes on zack snider's 300 and Hector Escaton on Westworld series
@@Madvisionn oh yes... and that guy you recognized from Elite Squad is Wagner Moura... He played Pablo Escobar on Narcos series and he voiced the wolf villian on Pussy in Boots The Last Wish
The character who appears at 5:28 minutes saying : in my business, if a guy... was a very big famous rap singer called Sabotage who was murdered in 2003. I've always been a big fan of his.
At the time, Brazil, as well as the state of São Paulo, were governed by people linked to right-wing parties. Fluery (government of SP), despite having a law degree and fighting for the redemocratization process in Brazil, was a relative of one of the most nefarious agents of the Brazilian dictatorship. Collor, the president at the time, defaulted on the people, deepening the Brazilian financial crisis, and even though he was deposed, he managed to return to political life in Brazil. The Brazilian police has always been the most violent in the world, it is the one that kills the most and dies the most, Brazil has a number of deaths with firearms almost in the same proportion as a country at war. The film, above all, is a denunciation.
Vem meter direita e esquerda uma hora dessa, tirando carandiru, as maiores rebelioes em presidios foram em governos de esquerda, quer vir com direitinha cruel pra gringo, vai pra casa do caralho.
'ai meu deus a policia é mto cruel' o crime é bonzinho né, eles poupam vidas ! meu deus como a policia é cruel ! COMANDO VERMELHO, TERCEIRO COMANDO, PRIMEIRO COMANDO DA CAPITAL E ASSIM VAI, ate hoje mafias, mas a policia que é a maldita
Com a esquerda no poder as coisas não melhoraram muito. a problema da segurança pública no Brasil não se resolve com a ignorância da direita, nem com a omissão da esquerda. Vale ressaltar que os políticos brasileiros não estão entre os mais qualificados.
I like your reactions, they seem very genuine to me. Carandiru is one of several real stories that has been portrayed by Brazilian cinema. The cast is very good, many faces known to the Brazilian public, but the best known internationally are the actors Wagner Moura (Elite Squad, Narcos, Elysium) and Rodrigo Santoro (who played Lady Di) who you may have seen in 'Love Actually', '300', 'Westworld', 'Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle'... More brazilian productions that may please you: Os dois filhos de Francisco, O homem que copiava, Minha mãe é uma peça 1 e 2, Rio 1 e 2 (animation), Deus é brasileiro, O bicho de sete cabeças.
‘Who would’ve expected I’d be reacting to Brazilian movies?’ I've been following your reactions since the Lucifer days with your brother. I would never guess one day you’d be reacting to Brazilian movies 😅
the actor of the transgender character is the same one who played the xerxer in the movie 300 Captain Nascimento of the elite squad, is the one who was stabbed The one who converted was also in the elite squad playing Fabio
A really great brazilian movie you should watch is "Estômago". It tells a story about a guy named Raimundo Nonato who leaves his home in the Northeast of the country to live in Curitiba ( South of the country).
Yes! It is a hard pill to swallow, but it depicts real memories of Dr. Drauzio Varella and the patients he treated. To complement this movie, you may react to the most significant Brazilian rap group: "Racionais MCs - Diario de um Detento". It is a known video clip with actual footage from the jail, which was shut down in the 2000s to become a huge public park. I know your channel is about films, but the clip is very well produced, and the lyrics were written with the aid of a guy who survived that day. They actually went inside, to record with the inmates. There are a couple of gruesome pictures from the massacre, but usually RU-vid doesn't block it.
I'm going to recommend you one of the best Brazilian films of all time. "Pixote: A Lei do Mais Fraco". You can search. It's from 1980, but has been restored and is in excellent quality. It's from the same director as "Kiss of the Spider-Woman".
Well done, you got Gero Camilo (Shorty), Milhem Cortaz (Fabio), Wagner Moura (Capitain Nascimento) - all of them from City of God... and also recognised Rodrigo Santoro. If you want to try something new and related, I guess it would be the best moment to react to 'Diario de um detento' (english subtitled), one of the biggest hits the main brazilian rap group ever - called Racionais MC's. It's music, but it's like cinema - and it depics exactly the same historical massacre...
But if you want to keep just on movies, I recommend Bacurau, The Second Mother and Last Stop 174 as next ones. There are many more, for sure... but those are prime, no doubt!
I remember watching this film in elementary school (I was 12 or 13). Héctor Babenco also directed one of the greatest classics of Brazilian cinema, 'Pixote: a lei do mais fraco' ['Pixote: the law of the weakest'], which someone in the comments has already recommended; it's very raw and realistic.
This movie reflects how is the prisional system in Brazil until today. I understand your dificulty to follow the characters, but this was intentional for two reasons: first because this film is like a book writen in first person, so think how the doctors will tell the story of 7500 prisioners, you will don't developt much of the characters. The second reason is that the intention of the movie was to humanize the prisioners and the best way to do this in brazilian context is you tell many stories and with this explain that the prisioners are human being too. This was because here in Brazil we have decades of intense propaganda of news media and TV against the human rights for people who suppousedly have commit any crime. By the way, i want to thhnk you so much for react to our cinema and to respect so much our culture. Keep going please :D
It would be really nice if you reacted to Minha Mãe é uma Peça, it's probably the most famous comedy movie in Brazil, everybody knows and loves it because it represents almost every brazilian mother - children relashionship ❤
watch marighella ( it's quite recent ) and it's directed by the actor who plays nascimento in elite squad and knockout ned (city of god) is the main actor
Technically, it's not quite a gay couple. The movie was pointing out transgender debates ahead nowadays. That's why No Way said "He (a policeman) wouldn't kill a woman". It was not merely a humour line and have a very deep symbolism.
If you want to keep going with Brazilian cinema and you find these subtitled, check these out: Bingo: The King of the Mornings Lower City Lisbela and the Prisioner The Man Who Copied Bacurau Estômago
So... I don't know if you are interested, but there is a series from Brazil, it's called "Justiça" (Justice) and it's a lot about our current state in politcs, justice and prisions. It's not "based" in true events, but there's a sense of how the things are right now, in a way. Check it out.
watch "Hermanoteu na terra de godah" too, it's a humorous film made in a theater. But it is an iconic Brazilian film, telling biblical stories but with a lot of humor.
We don't get a lot of character development, but I also feel that the main character is the Carandiru itself and the people are the parts of the whole telling its story; great movie.
Please watch ‘Four Days in September’ (O Que é Isso, Companheiro, 1997), based on the real story of the brazillian guerrilha’s fighters who kidnapped the American embassador during our 21 years long military dictatorship hardest years. An amazing moving with Fernanda Montenegro (Central Station, 1998) and her daughter, Fernanda Torres and other amazing Brazilian actors. Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Movie.
You should watch "Marighella", is the first movie directed by Wagner Moura (who plays Zico and also the protagonist of the elite squad), is a controversial movie, as it is based on the life of a militant who lived during the beginning of the Brazilian military dictatorship. Unfortunately, a lot of people in Brazil support/supported the regime, so they don't like the movie very much, but he's particularly one of my favorites of all time. The cinematography, acting and direction are SO well done. Definitely worth the time. And if you want some comedy, there's the "My Mom is a Character" trilogy. It was written, produced and starred by Paulo Gustavo, one of the best comedians in Brazil (who unfortunately passed away during covid)
There is a peculiar story that takes place in the State of Bahia, an incredible region of Brazil, some actors from films that you have already reacted to participate. disponível aqui no RU-vid: Ó Paí, Ó | Drama | Filme Brasileiro Completo. I like your reactions, they seem authentic.
12:52 Best couple in the entire film, I never thought there would be this kind of thing in such an old film, since the Brazilian public is boring when it comes to representation
My favorite part of this entire movie is when that lonely survivor starts reciting Psalm 91 to himself, especially when he reads "You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you". I get the CHILLS... Best regards from Brazil💚
Too many people already told you about the book that inspired the movie, so i gonna tell that you have to listen a music named Diário de um Detento, from the greatest rap group of Brazil, the Racionais MC's. They talk a lot about carandiru and about the life in prison of Brazil
Lhe recomendo ler o livro "CARANDIRU " foi escrito pelo próprio médico...Dr: Drauzio Valera. É excelente, os relatos que ele fala, e mostra uma realidade bem mas cruel que no filme🥺
Ninguém lembra Carandiru exemplo de cadeia para o mundo foi feita na segunda guerra mundial no periodo vargas ficou excesso de prisioneiros virou bagunça
@@Madvisionn He was a jailer, and was off duty for a week when the massacre happened. It was right when my older sister was born. He took a few days off to take care of her and my mother, and then... The whole thing happened.
It was not just because the laundry fight. It was because we always flerted with authoritarian right-wing figures, who sees prisioners as things or animals. The governor wanted to send a message to his voters at the time. The majority of Sao Paulo City (and probably the whole country) lean over to extreme punitivism.
based on history, but you believe this chain was the greatest security in South America at the time, perhaps the most security in the world last season, for the worst in the world
I'm so sorry about the strike thing, Globo is the most powerful conglomerate here and they're very shitty about so many things... Maybe blurring more images or some other tricks might help? I hope they leave you alone 🙏🏼
Gostei do seu canal. vou recomendar três filmes bem distintos pra você reagir. o primeiro é "o cheiro do ralo" uma comédia sombria com o grande ator Selton Melo como protagonista, vai na linha do "estomago". o segundo é "O invasor" mais ao gênero policial e violência urbana, neste caso sobre corrupção entre empresários, filme intrigante e não menos chocante que filmes como "tropa de elite", "cidade de Deus" e similares, um filme super pesado nessa linha. O terceiro se chama "Durval Discos", também numa pegada comédia que vai ficando sombria e surrealista, tem um ar meio Felini a medida que vai chegando ao final. Acho que vai gostar banstante destes três filmes.
I think it was the biggest prision in South America. I was a child when it happens. The São Paulo government gave a permission to the militar police try to put an end in a rebelion inside . They did a massacre. After the scandall, they decided to implode every buildings .....The prision doestn exist more. In that place , there s a Latin America memorial. Nothing more. The movie try to be very real e human......
Why the government is so brutal?? because stills a lot of consequences created violent Heritage os military dictatorship and when happens what you see in the movie is one of the governement recently democratic dealing in a shit way if that heritage. The sad is to know, is today still happens in other states, but doesn't have much consequences... saddly.
Wagner Moura is so hot, I love him. You should watch Ó Paí Ó, it also stars Wagner Moura and Lazaro Ramos. It takes place in Salvador, Bahia. It's a beautiful comedy. I wish you would react to "Cazuza - O tempo não para", it tells the story of Cazuza, a Brazilian singer and songwriter, symbol of free youthness. He's also bi 🤪
